Governor Ramsay says that the

planned TO him how it was that so many
hotel-kccpers bear military titles.
When the revolutionary war closed the
business of the country was in a
chaotic condition, all industrial affairs
having sUff red a complete proslration
during The seven years struggle. The
American officers came ont of the war
without any occupations and rs poor
as a lot of church mice. About the only
business they could 60 into that didn't
require capital was tavern keeping.
SO it came to pass in a short time thai
the head of every hostelry in the coun.
try was q Colonel, 4 Major or Il Cap
tain. And from that day to this it has
been regarded as the proper thing to
invest u otcl-kecpcr with a military
title. 1t comes to him in the line OF
